The Cherry Birds Are Singing
The cherry birds are singing
the cherry birds are singing my
darling son
close to the wall
with your name,
and your feet are in the earth
your feet are in the earth
we thought you might not go
with your gun and flag…
sorrow, sorrow
your feet are in the earth
your feet are in the earth
and outside the cherry birds
are singing …
what have they done?
what have they done?
your feet are in the earth
my darling son
